I am not going to change anything - except my underwear!

I will still have to get to the same places at the same times, so I am not going to change anything. Well, I am kind of crazy, so I will be getting a car with a bigger engine in 2008. Yes, I know, I will pay more for gas, but I am gonna look so sweet driving my new rod!!!

Go nuts girl! You only live once!!!

I'm not sure if or how we can change our lifestyle. Jacking up gas prices is just going to slow tourism....it's a lose/lose situation for most of the world.

Bonnie and Clyde could have robbed gas stations.

Talking Drop in a new engine can’t hurt?

Talking Gas at $1.50

I’ve got a new thing at the gas station now that makes me feel better like the days when gas was only a $1.50 a gallon.
.
.
.
.
.
I fill up half tank only. I seem to feel better knowing that I didn’t drop $60-75 and got ripped off by the oil corporations. Now I know you’re going to tell me that this isn’t getting gas at ½ price,,,,,,,, but I want you to know that the CEO isn’t taking all my money at a one stop rip-off. He has to wait for the other half of the money before he can retire on my dime . Maybe he’ll eat some $h!t and die before I give him the other half of the $$. One can hope!

I'll be driving less when we move.
When I do get a job, it's going to be as close to home as possible--plus I will walk as much as I can.
I already like to walk, so that helps.
